Course

The river begins at an unnamed mountain in British Columbia at 1,661 metres (5,449 ft) and flows north, then abruptly turns southeast. It takes in an unnamed tributary from the right, heads northeast through Partridge Lake, where it passes into the Yukon, and reaches its mouth on the West Arm of Bennett Lake. Bennett Lake flows via the Nares River, the Tagish River and the Yukon River to the Bering Sea.
